I plan on cutting my roof out in the center section along the rain channels
and I will avoid the pillars alltogether.  If you look at a roof with the
headliner out you will see that there's not much metal in the  way.  I will,
of course, reweld everything back in just as I removed it.  I'm nitpicky that

happening anyhow.
